I recently switched to CVSNT because I was not able to run `vc-dir' for
Emacs directories with my cvs 1.11.19 executable.  However, `vc-dir'
seems a prerequisite for implementing Miles' request on emacs-devel from
2008-11-20:

    I'd suggest tracking the git mirror instead; it does a pretty good job
    of packaging up related file changes into single commits, as long as the
    user committed them all at once with CVS.  Many people _don't_ do that,
    of course, but that's largely for historical reasons, and hopefully they
    can be convinced to start doing so.

So on Windows there's not only historical reasons but also the practical
one of having a CVS executable able to handle updates and commits as
requested.

To avoid the advert, I had to replace all occurrences of "-m" with "-M"
in vc-cvs.el.  An option for customizing this would be therefore greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance, martin.
